CMBA Committees

Judicial Selection Committee

The Judicial Selection Committee conducts confidential interviews to evaluate judges and judicial candidates seeking judicial office in Cuyahoga County in order to assist the public in making an informed vote.

Members of the Judicial Selection Committee are generally appointed by the Board of Trustees at the beginning of each calendar year after an informal interview when committee seats become available. Lawyer members must be trial practitioners representing a diverse range of practice areas and may not publicly endorse or contribute money to a judicial campaign or serve on a judicial campaign committee. Non-lawyer members must be actively involved in community affairs. Click here to view the bylaws for this Committee.
